Minister would still hive a situation of 3,0001. per annum to dispose of, sb that the influence of the Crown would be increased to that extent. The Treasurership of the Navy was, in fact, of such secondary importance, that all that it required was a r");dence in Lone-m. lie there fore proposed that both offices should Con tinue blended in one person, with a salary of 5,000/. as full compensation for executing their conjoint duties. Mr. ROBERTSON, after hinting at circumstances Of a " mysterious and suq- Picious nature" connected with the motion, adverted to a proposition by Mr. BARING, SO). liflUela to the granting of the Charter foririn corporating the Irish Silk Company in the last Session, for increasing the salary of the President of the Board of Trade, who he conceived was already amply paid for the duties of that office. -Mr. BARING said, the Hon. Gentleman had wholly mistaken his motives ; he had supposed an increase in tl►e salary of il►e President, from a conviction that it was called for, and his opi►►ion Nsas unaltered. As to the connection of the Charter of the Silk Company with that subject, not a syllable had ever passed between himself and Mr. IluslussoN. Mr. PEEL, after comment i"g w►th much severity on the insinuations that had fallen from Mr. ltoucitTsoN, expressed a thseided opinion that the offices ought to be kept %%holly distinct, with an adequate salary for each. Mr. MITIERLY could not conceive why the situa tion of President of the Board of Trade .11ould not be put on a footing as to remu neration with those of the Secretaries of State. A desultory conversation followed—Mr. CAE.. CRAFT declaring his determination to oppose the vote, unless some pledge were given, that the Treasurership of the Navy should be modified, 80 that the duties might be performed by the Paymaster. Mr. T. Wir.soN thought the present no improper time for taxing the country with an increase of present salary ; but if ere neces sary, why not add two thousand pounds a-year to the present income', rather than increase the Patronage of the Crown ? Mr. hums moved al an amendment, that 5,0001. a year be the Sa lary of the President, with a qualification, declar. ing it expedient " to inquire if any existing offices could he abolished, so as to save that amount 4 ' of salary." In answer to the objections raised ligainst such enquiry, Mr. Iluats declared he could point out many offices, from which the saving could he made. He did not object to the salary of s,oool.—but that sum might toe saved from other offices. Mr. Hume: persist ing in his resolution to put his amendment, the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER pro. Posed to postpone the question—time further consideration of which was accordingly de ferred to this (lay. Oa this interesting discussion, the real and only question is, whether the influence of the Crown shall be increased by a place of 5 ) 000 1. a year ? Of the justice and pro priety of the salary, there was no differ- "ce of opinion, with the solitary exception of M r. It °fleaTsoN, whose remarks elicited strong " e xpressions of disapprobation from the House. I t Was, however, not less generally admitted, that the offic e of Treasurer of the Navy is, virtually, 4irte ctfre ; for the allegation by Mr. CALCItAFT as to the small importance of the office was rebutted I Y M. nw oNsoN, only ou the ground " that the C ) duties of Treasurer of the Navy could not be it CO ng j. %lieu to the Paymaster, without elevating 4 the latter into a higher scale ofufficia I importance " than he at present Ailed." What injury would b s ustained by the country from such "elevation," of th e Paymaster of the Navy, the public may riot ' any more than ourselves, comprehend. It fa manifest, that although justice may demand remuneration by a salary of five thousand Pounds a-year to the office of President of the Board of Trade, there is not a shadow of pretext for maintaining an officer at a salary of I heee thousand pounds, per annurn,, whose duties 4 1ight be performed by a subordinate officer, but for the dread of " elevating him lute a higher scale of official importance." — r a w — EART INniA-Tlousr.—Y e sterday a ballot was `taken at the E ast I n di a- H ouse on t h e following question, viz.___ C f 4'llqt Sir James Edward Colebrooke, Bart., late of the Bengal Establisliment, be permitted to return to the servic e, under provision of the act of the 33d George 111., cap. 52, sec. 70, ith the rank which he held when he quitted Bengal, agreeably act of the 53d George 111., cap. 155, sec. 85."

Accounts from the Cape of Good llope were received yesterday to the 18th January, which state the exercise of the same arbitrary conduct there, v►ith regard to the public press, as that which characterised some part of the administra tion of Lord CuAItLES SOMERSET, but W hid% now on in the Council lately appointed for the superintendence of the affairs of the Colony. A new Journal has been announced by Mr. FAIR SWINE, the publication of which was to have commenced on the Ist January, but its appear ance was prevented, as it is said, by positive in terference of the n: tore allud.d to, and another Journal, published in the Dutcl► language, is stated to have been suppressed. Mr. Guata. the proprietor of the Advertiser, has been summoned -before the Council, where he rectiived a repri mand on the course•. pursued by him in the con duct of that publication, concluding with an in timation that if itsiwas not discontinued, he must expect its suppression. In the Dutch Papers to the 3d instant, which arrived last night, the refusal of the Government of the Netherlands to give up the fortress of Luxemburgh is again mentioned. The ground of this refusal has not been publicly explained by the Cabinet of Brussels, but it seems probable that it may be accounted for by the differences which, according to the German Papers, subsist between the Government of the Netherlands and Austria and Prussia, respecting the naviga tion of the Rhine. MEAT IN 'JOLLA ND.—Ment in Holland is 2d. per pound, notwithstanding 16,000 cows perished by Olio inundations last year. The price of fresh butter is only 4d. per pound, potted sd. The K.PiG of PORTUGAL, at the time of his death, had saved a sum of nearly 125 millions of francs in gold, half of which hie has bequeathed toll's. Queen, and the other half to his children. His Majesty, it is also said, has left other money in the Bunk of England. The A 11C111118110P of Nuts visited the lintel des' JuraHiles a few days ago. The old pen sioners, as usual on such oCcasions, proceeded by divisions into the Temple, headed by their Ad jutants, who ordered them their different seats, when one of the Missionaries exclaimed, " WE are the only Officers to command here." An aid invalid turned round, exclaiming, " We know only the orders of our Chiefs, not those of the Missionaries." Should not some other candidate start, there are nt present only as many as the City of Lon don require —namely, Alderman Wood, Alder man Thompson, Alderman Wnithman, and the Lord Mayor. Alderman Brydges retires. No opposition is expected at Middlesex or Weil. minster ; according to calculation, the prehent Members n ill " walk over the course." Lord AucKLAxo's claim to vote for Peers for Ireland has been allowed by the Lords' Com mittee of Privileges. M as. St nooNs.—There is no lover of the Drama who ill not regret to hear that this incomparable actress, who so long gratified the public taste, has met with an accident which, we are sorry to say, may prove of fatal consequences to her. She lately had an unexpected fall, which has affected the spine of her back in such a manner as, at her advanced time of life, must be contemplated as dangerous in the extreme. M.uicitcsTim TnEATRE.---MT. VANDENHOFF, after an absence of six years, re-appeared at this theatre on Monday last, in the character of Co riolanus. The house was very numerously and fashionably attended, and Mr. VANDESHOFF'S reception most cordial and enthusiastic. On his entrance, the audience arose simultaneously in deafening cheers, which, with the waving of hats and handkerchiefs, and other demonstrations of welcome greeting, entirely suspended the per formance for a considerable time ; nor were the discriminating plaudits, elicited by his masterly delineation of Caius Martha, a jot less rap turous.—(Liverpool Courier.) Miss F. H. KELLY is engaged for a few nights at the Manchester Theatre. She performed, during the last week, Mrs. Beverley, Juliet, Evadne, and others of her most favourite cha racters. Of her performance of the latter cha racter, the critics speak hi the highest terms, and ,'consid er her little inferior to her great prede cesior in th e part. An extravag ant young man, who had no great character for courage, one day asked a miser what pleasure he found in amassing money and making no use of it ? , c The same sort of plea sure," replied the miser, " that you have in wearing a sword."

His Majesty drove down the Long Walk into the Little Park, to inspect the Castle, where he was met by Mr. Wyatville. His Majesty did not - slight from his phaeton, and continued in the Park, viewing only the exterior of the south and east fronts. Ills attention was afterwards di rected‘to a temporary dwarf wall in a circular direction from Ole south-east to the north-east corners of the Castle, extending about 300 yards from the Palace to the centre of the wall,which space, if carried into effect, is intended to be - laid down as plea sure grounds and planted .with the choicest shrubs for his own private walks.

There vas a Masquerade at the Opera House last night, which was numerously attended, and somewhat more respect ably than such entertainments usually arc. There were fewer of the noisy vulgar personages present who upon former occa sions put rational amusement, or the interchange of what little wit might have been mustered, altogether out of the question.— With the exception of one watchman, and some other half dozen of coarse, noisy fellows, there was no inter. ruption to the enjoyment of the general company. We cannot, however, congratulate the affair upon any other im provements. There was scarcely a character even tole rably supported, and through the night we did not hear a thing that would bear repeating. However, the people seemed to find amusement amongst each other, and as that was the object of pursuit, we must suppose them to have been gratified. There was a considerable number of Ladies in the boxes watching the antics of the cmwd below them, and the galleries also contained many persons who had no other occupation. --- Yesterday morning the Duke of Clarence arrived in town from Bushy -park, and visited the Princess Augusta. The Duke of Sussex, the Duchess of Gloucester, and the Princess Sophia, paid visits yesterday to the Princess Augusta.

Itcr.liaoN A.LA-Moor.--(Extract of a letter from Paris.)—An odd practice is now the fashion in Paris. The ladies of quality issue cards for an assembly in favour of the prisoners and poor.

A collection is made, and the lady has thus the honour of being styled charitable, anti at the same time (no minor honour) of displaying her elegant furniture. OLD BAILEY . --(Turn DAY.) (Before Mr. Sergeant A RABIN-) • STEALING IN A DWELLING HOUSE. James Roberts, aged 20, was indicted for steal. ing a watch value 41., in the dwelling-house, of Margaret Jennings. The female servant stated, that on the 10th of March the prisoner, who was in the employ of Mr. Cullum of Kensington, brought Rome earthen-ware which her Mistress had purchased while witness went up stairs to fetch the money, she left the prisoner in the passage —after he was gone she missed a wAtCli that hung over the parlour fire-place ; she communicated the circumstance to her Mistress, and the prisoner was subse quently apprehended. A pawnbroker at Chelsea produced the watch, which had been pawned by the prisoner the day after the robbery. The property was identified by the son of Mrs. Jennings. The prisoner made no defence, and the Jury returned a ver dict of Guilty, Death. The prosecutrix recommended the prisoner to mercy, because he had beau! that his previous character was good. Mr. Sergeant A 'wilt( said it should be attended to. ROBBERY By A SERVANT. E 1727713 Harrow, aged 17, was charged with stealing divers articles, value ra. and upwards, the property of John . Leggett, her master, in his dwelling house. The charge was frilly substantiated ; the prisoner had be e n only fourteen d a yi w i t h M r . L . when she took " French leave," anti with that a great quantity of her employer's property to Greenwich finr. Verdict, Guilty, Deuth.—Reconmended to mercy. ( Before the rArd Chief Janice ABBOTT and the RconDEn.) CHARGE OF MURDER. Florence Carty and Denis Carty tv ere indictPd, with Fbrence Bryant (not in custody), for the wilful murder of Daniel Sullivan. Mr. Law and Mr. BROD'ERICK stated the case for the pro seention. Mr. BaarrEnrcx said, that on the 11th March last, the de ceased was at the Rose and Crown, at Bromley, as was also the prisoners at the bar. The two prisoners left the public-house before the deceased, but the latter had to pass the rest. denee of the prisoners on his way home ; when ire arrived near their dwelling an assault took place, and the deceased was thrown into a ditch, and when down jumped circa by th e psi. soner. Ile (Mr. B.) was very sorry to say that there were seve ral persons present who did not a pp ear to h ave i nterfered in a manner which humanity and justice would have dictated. He would call witnesses to prove that the prisoners struck the de. ceased with a stick and with their fists; but after the evidencs, his Lordship would say whether the guilt of the prisoner was established, or whether it was a Case of manslaniihter. George Grover, examined by Mr. LAw—Waness is land lord of the Rose and Crown at Bromley. On the 11th March last the prisoners at the bar (who are brothers) were there in the evening, as was also Florence Bryant and the deceased (Daniel Sullivan); they were all four in company together.— Sullivan left the house about 20 minutes after eleven ; the rrisoners had gone away nearly two hours before, and Bryant went out with them—there were the two Reardons (father and son) in the same box with the deceased. Cross-examined by Mr. Barter—Witness is confident Bry. ant went out with the prisoners; knows a man of the name of Collins; Lyons, one of the party, called for the b eer w hil e d e . ceased was in the room ; believes Collins (who refused to pay Crown on the for jtelrieemll,ethrtwoito Rove prisoners. e ( rs r even ing mentioned, with his father and Daniel Sullivan, the de. ceased, who lived at witness's house. On their way home they beer) war ofat thee had to pass the house of the prisoner.{, who had left the house long before witness and his friends; as they were going along he saw the prisoner, D. Carty, out side his door, with a person witness did not know; the father of' witness was talking, upon hearing which, Denis put . his head inside the door, after which Florence Carty, Florence Bryant, and Daniel Collins came out, as did Bryant's wife and a boy. D. Carty had a large blackthorn stick in his hand at the time. Flo. rence Carty laid bold of his father, and wished him not to go on so fast ; the two prisoners then beat his father with a stick and a poker; witness helped his father, upon which Flo rence struck him on hi s c h ee k ; at th i s time Daniel Sullivan was leaning against the paling at a little distance; witness went in quest of help, but found none; when he returned he found Ids father lying down, and witness picked him up; he was bleeding profusely ; found Sullivan in the leaning position as when he left him, ne a r t o a di tc h near w h ere the tide comes up; witness soon saw the deceased and the prisoner Dennis in the ditch; the latter was striking the former a great many times; did not sea the prisoner Florance there at first; they were in the ditch a quarter of an hour, and the prisoner kept striking, but witness could not say whether the deceased Made any resistance; he wits afterwards pulled out and con. veyed house to witness's house by a man named Larry Lyons. nness saw that he was all over blood and dirty ditch water; witness went for a surgeon ; the affray was on a Saturday, and tire deceststal died on the following Tuesday. By Mr. Benny.—Witness is employed In agriculture, but has no regular employ ; b a d h a d on l y two p i nts Of porter on that evening; there was no other friends of the deceased at the public house but his father and himself ; Collins and witness exchanged a few words and blows about Chriatmas time; re members that Collins re f use d to pay f or some beer that night ; the night was very dark ; witness did not fight, but tried to protect his father from the prisoner's violence; heard nothing about a challenge at that tune ; never swore that he did not know who struck the deceased --(Here Mr. Justice Panic ens tered the Court.)—Does not know whether it was the friends or foes of the deceased who pulled him out of thetlitch. By Mr. BBODEBICK—When the deceased was in the ditch there were several lighted candles there, which enabled him to distinguish people. Cornelius Reardon (father of the last witness.)—Witness is a gentleman's servant ; Witness, his son, anti the deceased, left the Rose and Crown between nine and ten; witness lives in Mann's buildings ; on his way there Ire saw the risoner, Dennis, upon which witness said to th e deceased, `Daniel, Daniel, here is somebody coming." The prisoner then struck witness with a poker first, and then with his flat, which threw him down blind : his son cried out, "My father is murdered." The marks of the prisoner's violence arc now on his head and arm. By Mr. BARRY—Never had a quarrel with the prisoner, except a few words a month before. By Air. LAw—lt was between eleven and twelve when the beating happened, on their way home from the public-house. Mary Sullivan, the widow of the deceased, stated that be tween nine and ten o'clock on this evening she went to the _Rose and Crown, and both found and left her husband there— did not see him again until between eleven and twelve, when she found bins lying down from the prisoner's house—his face was covered with blood ; the first thing she saw was Bryant running and jumping upon his body.---( Witness described it as a running leap.)—Witness assisted in getting him up, when Florance Carthy came up and struck hint three blows with a stick—Daniel Megan was by at the time—after the pri goner gave him the blows, Bryant tripped her husband again Into the ditch, when the prisoner Dennis took his head in one hand, and struck him over the face with the other for a full quarter of an hour. When her husband was taken out he could not walk or scarcely sneak ; before he died witness con versed with him—he said on the Tuesday, " take me out at bed, .lary, I'm almost gone, I'm a dead man,"—he died about six hours afterwards—after he said he was a dead man, he said to witness, " Florence Bryant and his lodgers (the prisoners) have done !his." By M. 1% IIARRY.—Does not know that her husband had any internal complaint before. Margaret Dodd—l.ives near the prisoners; remembers the . night in question when her attention w:ts directed to a noise outside ; the first person she saw was the deceased, who was allover blood; he said that Bryant and his lodgers was after killing him; the prisoners were by. Witness directly after wards heard a great plunge in the di t ch, w hi c h was t h e d ecease d ; saw the prisoners violently beating the deceased. Elizabeth Gill examined—Witness was present at part of the afFray, and she saw both the prisoners as well as Bryant beat Sullivan in the ditch. Thomas Burford is the parish constable at Bromley; saw the deceased at Reardon's house, where he lodged ; went in conse quence to apprehend the prisoners at Florence Bryant's house, where they lodged—the first person he saw was Florance Bryant run up stairs, he fastened the door ; witness said he would break it open ; witness left a watchman there and came down himself; heard a voice exclaim, " some one is getting out of the window,"—F. M`Carthy dropped down, and witness seized him by the collar; received the poker (produced) from Mrs. Burke. Hannah Burke deposed, that after the quarrel she found the poker near the place where the affray happened, and gave it to the constable. Mr. Thomas Hensel', a surgeon at Bromley, was railed on to attend the deceased at midnight of 11th March ; there were several wounds on the back of the head, and on th e f ore h ea d near the eve ; witness attended him until he died, when he examined the bldy, and found the back very much contused ; on op e ni ng the body, he found the small intestines in a state of great in flammation, which he considered were . the effect of repeated blows, and that this was the cause of the death. The deceased otherwise a healthy subject, except an old complaint in the liver, This was the case for the prosecution. which had nothing to do with his death. DEFEN C F.. Flarance Carthy (who took notes of the p rocee di ngs, and fre quently wrote to hie Counsel) declared that he had never any animosity against the deemed. lie entered into a long detail relative to previous quarrels among the Irish, but it did not appear to bear much upon the case. The other prisoner made a similar defence. The Loan Ulf/Er JUSTICE summed up the evidence. Ilia Lordship said, the prisoners were charged with one of the highest crimes known in this or any other country, namely, with depriving a fellow-creuture of existence. That the deceased came by his death through the violence of Bryant and the prisoners there could not he the least doubt. The material question was, did this disturbance commence at the public-house, and then. the prisoners and their com panion way-lay the deceased, and the witnesses, who had been - examined (the Reardons), or whether tile deceased .end his friends, in passing the house, challenged the pri soners to come out and fight p If the latter was the fact, the offence would amount to Manslaughter; but if the prfr soners waited to inflict vengeance on the deceased,. in eon_ sequence of a previous quarr e l, th en malice pypenNe would be proved, and the prisoners must be guilty of wilful murder. Th e .lury would weigh the matter on the one side and on the other, and if they see any conscio us reason f or a doubt, they would lean to the side of mercy. The Jury retired for half an hour, and at two o'clock re. turned, and pronounced a verdict of Guilty Manslaughter. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE.
